Environmental protection exists for a reason. Opening the floodgates to further habitat destruction through unregulated development in the name of economic growth is ecological suicide.

I am writing as a concerned Ontario resident who values our provinces biodiversity. Bill 5 threatens to weaken protections for species at risk and their habitats—protections that have been established through decades of scientific research and conservation efforts.

This can not go through. Our planet and environment is at a breaking point and doing anything to remove the little protection it has would be hugely detrimental to the animals and eco systems that sustain life.
I do not support the repeal of Ontario’s Endangered Species Act. Protecting vulnerable animals and their habitats is critical not just for biodiversity, but for the health of our environment as a whole.

I do not support the repeal of Ontario’s Endangered Species Act or the introduction of the Species Conservation Act, 2025. While streamlining processes may sound efficient, it should never come at the cost of environmental protection.

I strongly oppose Bill 5, the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025. This legislation weakens Ontario’s environmental protections in ways that are reckless and short-sighted, placing endangered species and vital habitats at serious risk.

I don't think it's appropriate that you give government the power to remove species at risk from 'the list'. Why can't you let third parties in Ludington the At Risk group do this job? Second, you say you want to update/remove the word harass but you gave no reason. Why is this?

Wouldn't funding more social housing i.e. shitty condos help more people faster than this? Look man I know something has to give to make sure that we start getting shovels in the ground more.

The climate crisis is the number one problem facing the people of Ontario. Full stop. These proposed changes jeopardize our future, not mention the future of an unthinkable number of other species. To be blunt, there’s no point to me having a house if the planet isn’t livable.

I oppose Bill 5 because I believe we need to tighten environmental regulation and not make short cuts for industries who could cause irreparable harm without any consequences

This bill will devastate endangered species and delicate ecosystems while serving nobody but Doug Ford's rich developer friends. This bill does not serve Ontarians, it only serves rich land developers that want to cover every piece of land with overpriced condos.
I am a concerned Ontario citizen and have seen the news reports about ‘Bill 5’ which will give free reign to contractors and unscrupulous developers who care nothing for the environment or the quality of life for the public.
